She began her career by taking part in the Russian selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015, and afterwards in the Russian television competition The Voice Kids. She is set to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Hurricane".

Early life

Eden Golan was born in Kfar Saba, Israel. When she was six years old, she and her parents moved to Moscow for permanent residence due to her father's work, where she spent 12 years. Both her parents were born in the Soviet Union to families of Jewish heritage. Golan's mother is of Ukrainian descent.[2] Golan's father is Latvian. Her grandfather, Yuri, graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and worked for the newspaper Soviet Youth. Golan has a younger brother, Sean. According to Golan, she had mixed feelings about her time living in Russia, and that while she started her music career there, she was also uncomfortable due to frequent manifestations of antisemitism.[3] Golan and her parents moved back to Israel in 2022;[4] the immediate cause of the move was the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but according to Golan, her family would have done so regardless.[3]

Career

In 2015, Golan took part in the Russian selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015. She finished fifth in the final, scoring 22 points, eight fewer than the eventual winner Mikhail Smirnov. In 2016, she performed at the competition New Wave in Crimea,[nb 1] including performing her song "Howl at the Moon" in a duet with Nyusha. In 2018, Golan was a finalist in the fifth season of the show The Voice Kids, representing Pelageya's team.[7] She collaborated with Yinon Yahel.[8] After her return to Israel, in 2022, Golan participated in the season 2 finale of Ro'im et Hakol and was eliminated in the first round.

In preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation decided to return to selecting the country's representative for the competition through cooperation with the Keshet 12 channel and the talent show Rising Star.[9] Golan won all stages of the show, performing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" and Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for the final. She ultimately won both the jury and public vote, becoming the Israeli representative for the contest.[10][11] Her competing entry for the contest, selected at a later stage, is titled "Hurricane".[12]
